...took a while for traffic through the slit to build up. In January 1958, after nearly three years of on-and-off negotiations, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. signed an elaborate cultural-exchange agreement. A few days later, to get the new era off to a brisk start, Moscow sent Mikhail ("Smiling Mike") Menshikov to Washington to replace dour Georgy Zarubin as ambassador. During 1958 the U.S. sent to the U.S.S.R. 82 separate exchange projects with 953 members-scientists, engineers, artists, entertainers, businessmen, farmers, athletes-and the U.S.S.R. sent to the U.S. 68 projects with 516 members. The cultural-exchange...
...retinue of other officials. Waiting to greet them at the Coliseum's main door was a barrel-stout man with iron-grey, curly hair and a broad smile: Frol Romanovich Kozlov, 50, First Deputy Premier of the U.S.S.R.. the Kremlin's No. 2 man. sent by Nikita Khrushchev to officiate at the opening of Russia's flashy exhibition of science, technology and culture (TIME.

...Loshchinino. Ryazan province. His parents, he says, were poor farmers who owned their land but had to piece out their living by working at a nearby textile factory.

...different levels is handled poorly--without any strong accents on the bottom level of the main gallery, the collection is allowed to dribble off to nowhere. I'll add one good note about the exhibition's installation: two incredibly large and mildly good Van Goyens have been sent over to the Fogg where they are suitably scaled in size and gloom to the second floor gallery arcade. In all, though, I'm afraid that I'll just have to fall back on local pundit-philosopher S. Marshall Cohen's Confucius Say about the Harvard museum situation: "One in the Fogg...
...first big exhibit of Soviet wares in the U.S. since the 1939 New York World's Fair. The Soviet Union spent more than $10 million on the New York show, which touches on nearly every aspect of Russian life from art and ballet to city planning, and sent their First Deputy Premier Frol Koslov (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS) to preside at the opening. The 10,000 exhibits are good, bad and indifferent by U.S. standards; the overall result is a significant study of Russia's position in the world...
